Wanna keep you from breakin'
Wanna keep you from shakin'
Wanna keep you from keepin' you down.

Wanna keep you from sinkin'
Wanna keep you from drinkin' sometimes
Wanna keep you from keepin' you down.

Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
But there's only one way to go
And I'm going alone.
I'm going alone.

Your self-help bookshelf is full now
Your pictures are about to be pulled down
Without regard for a broken heart
It's another year.

Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
But there's only one way to go

Wanna be with you tonight
Wanna be with you tonight
No I know it isn't right
Wanna be with you tonight

'Cause I love the way that you shock-shock-shock me
Follow me to my house and then you rock-rock-rock me
Wanna see your eyes wide not sewed shut
Completely cool don't stop keep up.
Livin in the city, you'll be dying if you don't
Get a grip take a sip from my Molotov mug.
Wanna keep you from keepin you down
Pick yourself up off the ground
Wanna keep you from keepin' you down

Come on girl
Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
I wish I could close my eyes
And somehow make it all all right
But I know there's only one way to go.

Miss the way that you shock shock shock me
Follow me to my house and then you rock rock rock me
Wanna see your eyes wide not sewed shut
Completely cool don't stop keep up.
Livin in the city, you'll be dying if you don't
Get a grip take a sip from my Molotov mug.
Wanna keep you from keepin' you down
Pick yourself up off the ground.
Pick yourself up off the ground.

Wanna keep you from breakin'
Wanna keep you from shakin'
Wanna keep you from keepin' you down.

Wanna keep you from sinkin'
Wanna keep you from drinkin' sometimes
Wanna keep you from keepin' you down.

Ringing in my head
All the things you've said
All the things you've done
I wish I could compromise
But there's only one way to go
And I'm going alone.
I'm going alone.
